Sonic Youth

In November 1999, Sonic Youth delivered a riveting performance at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, just after the release of their acclaimed album 'The Eternal' in 2009, which was their last studio effort. The live recording of 'Schizophrenia' captures the band navigating their signature blend of noise rock and avant-garde sensibilities. Interestingly, this performance came during a period of creative experimentation for the band, showcasing their evolution from the more structured sounds of their earlier work. 'Schizophrenia' itself, from the 1987 album 'Sister,' is a fan favorite and highlights the band's knack for combining melody with discord. Sonic Youth’s live shows, characterized by their raw energy and improvisational flair, have left an indelible mark on the alternative music scene, making this recording a gem for both die-hard fans and newcomers alike.
